In a significant setback for Barcelona, Brazilian attacker Raphinha is facing another spell on the sidelines after re-injuring the right hamstring that had previously troubled him. The relapse, reported by Diario AS, means the winger is not expected to return to the training pitch until after the upcoming international break in November.

This new issue is traced back to an initial problem sustained on September 25th against Oviedo. In a candid admission, the club has acknowledged that the player's premature return to competitive action was a direct cause of this frustrating recurrence.

The current prognosis estimates a three-week absence, which would likely rule him out of contention until Barcelona's fixture against Athletic Club on November 22nd.

Despite his personal disappointment, Raphinha's commitment to the collective was on full display. He attended Saturday's training session not as a participant, but as a vocal presence—offering support and motivation to his teammates ahead of their trip to Madrid, a gesture that underscores his growing influence and leadership within the squad.
